SEED-TESTING STATION
OPINIONS OF GROWERS FROM SOUTH CANTERBURY (P.A.) X ' PALMERSTON N., Aug. 2. “Although this must not in any Avay be represented as the vieAVs of South Canterbury seed-growers, the private opinion of the party expressed to the Minister of Agriculture (the Hon. B. Roberts) is that we are quite content to let the seed-testing station remain at Palmerston North as long as something is done urgently to provide more suitable accommodation and a large increase in staff,” said Mr C. J. Dugdale (South Canterbury), leader of the seed-growers in the party of 20 South Canterbury farmers making a conduct ed tour of inspection of North Island farming conditions. The party visited the seed-testing station. t 4
IntervieAved, Mr Dugdale said the party formed the impression that the station was totally inadequate to handle the business required. It was already six weeks behind with sample testing and, allowing for germination, this could easily be lavo months. Members of the party spoke highly of the work done at the station, the skill and accuracy of the staff being most reassuring.
